A bad name for a Jew

From 1935.

  1. I kind of wondered when the name "Hitler" became a curse, especially in the city from which the New York Times came.

  2. I've long wondered if there were any Jews named Eichman who changed their names.
    Reichman, Eichhorn, it just seems natural that someone should have had that name

  3. I would guess that it's the original name of "The Gitler Brothers" (famous bookstore in Bnei Brak) before they moved to Russia...

  4. The Russians pronounced "Hitler" as "Gitler" as there is no letter to represent the H sound in the Cyrillic (Russian) alphabet.
